The U.S. striker pushed slowly toward goal before slipping a slow-moving cross into the middle, and, inexplicably, the D.C. back four failed to clear, allowing the Atomic Ant a sniff at goal.

His 58-second strike is the fastest goal in club history, surpassing Reggie Lambe's 1 minute, 50 second strike back in the 2012 Amway Canadian Championship.

That's really all it takes for the Italian, and Giovinco put the Reds up 1-0 just one minute into the match, a scoreline the team collectively held through the remaining 89 minutes to secure a win and all three points away from home.
